Cyclohexylamine → Cyclohexyl-(2-(4-pentylcyclohexyl)ethylidene)amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

(4-Pentylcyclohexyl)acetaldehyde (30.1 g) was dissolved in diethyl ether (40 mL), to which cyclohexylamine (15.2 g) and potassium carbonate (12 g) were added, and the system was stirred at room temperature over night. The resulting suspension was filtered with Celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Cyclohexyl-(2-(4-pentylcyclohexyl)ethylidene)amine (40.6 g) in a yellow oily form thus obtained was used in the second step without purification.
